Electrical connector with a positioning member

Abstract

An electrical connector includes an insulating body having a base and a tongue protruding from the base, a metal casing surrounding the insulating body, multiple terminals grouped into upper and lower rows and fixedly at the insulating body, a shielding sheet disposed at the insulating body and located between the upper and lower rows of terminals, and a positioning member. A positioning slot is disposed at the base. A first buckling portion is disposed inside the positioning slot. Each terminal has a contact portion extending forward and exposed partially from the tongue, and a soldering portion extending backward out of the base. The shielding sheet has a reserved space corresponding to the positioning slot. The positioning member has multiple positioning holes for positioning the soldering portions, and a second buckling portion passing through the reserved space and fixed to the first buckling portion.
